Lodge Names Winner In 2019 Cornbread Cook-Off

The winner of the 2019 Lodge Cornbread Cook-Off, Lidia Haddadian, didn’t rest on her laurels after coming in second last year. Instead, the home cook harnessed the lessons she had learned in the 2018 competition and came back to win it all this year.

“I’m honored and humbled to have had the opportunity to compete in the Lodge National Cornbread Cook-Off for two years in a row. Winning this year was a great boost in my culinary journey,” said Haddadian.

Shauna Havey took home the second place prize of $1,500 with her Korean BBQ Pork Cornbread Totchos, while Chelsea Hanson placed third with her Nashville Hot Chicken and Cornbread Waffles. She was awarded $1,000.

The event took place during the 23rd annual National Cornbread Festival in South Pittsburg, TN.
